[Thiago Martins <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is unbelievable that this problem was already fixed in `gnome-bugs
#692279` and still not fixed here in Ubuntu.

This is very, very annoying.

Please guys, do something about this.

Thanks in advance.

Title:
  IPv6 static default route added incorrectly by network-manager

Status in NetworkManager:
  Fix Released
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The relevant part of the IPv6 routing table looks like this:

  fe80::/64 dev wlan0  proto kernel  metric 256
  default via fe80::5054:ff:fe64:aad0 dev wlan0  proto static  metric 1
  default via fe80::5054:ff:fe9c:741e dev wlan0  proto kernel  metric 1024  expires 8sec
  default via fe80::5054:ff:fe64:aad0 dev wlan0  proto kernel  metric 1024  expires 10sec

  I believe the proto static metric 1 route is an error, since it
  persists even when the router stops advertising.  This breaks the IPv6
  architecture for router redundancy.

  I am in control of this network and can alter router advertisement
  parameters if needed.
